Cool Rainbow In Minnesota

Was sitting here in my truck watching the rain and saw this cool looking rainbow forming. Thought I shoot a bit of video and share it. I forgot my video camera at home so I had to shoot this with my webcam.

Awesome.

 

Right aftr i graduated college as  musica educater, I took a full-part time gig as an assistant band director.  I had graduated in December, so a full time job wouldn't be available until the new school year.

 

The down side was, I had to drive about 200 miles a day to take this gig, but it made for a nice drive to and from work.

 

One day, on the way home, I had to pull over.  There was a PERFECT rainbow.  Full from left to right, and each band was brilliant throughout.  It looked like it was out of a cartoon.  I wish there was such a thing as video cameras back then.  I've never seen anything like it.

Ok, I tried to edit the typos, but JU is being JU again.  Please put on your universal translator and muddle through them.

I haven't seen a rainbow in a long time.  I think I've only seen maybe 3 or 4 that were really good. 

Funny how much joy a bit of light refracted through water can bring. :)

Isn't it though?

 

I really wish I'd had my normal video camera with me, the webcam just didn't do it justice. It was a perfect one just as Ock described. The colors were brilliant.

Thanks. I thought this one was going to be a double but the second one faded pretty quickly.

We had one here too yesterday,  a double one,  I got some pix of it and some video too,  however am using my other computer now and can't transfer them out of camera.

It sure was lovely!  Glad you shared!
